"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain." -George Orwell, 1984

Nice post! One of the things that popped into my mind: How to find help. There are the forums, as well as the documentation that comes with every Linux installation, but a key for me has been learning to do good web searches. Most of the time, I end up finding what I'm looking for, and I've found that I rarely need to post questions at Linux forums.

Great tips Eric. Left a comment. I will say it here as well. Have not made it over to the Nocturnal Slacker in quite some time as life has just really gotten in the way. But I am absolutely impressed with the new look. (may not be all that new but its new to me. )

Ian, it's relatively new... the look, that is. I think I set it up last Friday. I change themes at v1.0 and v2.0 pretty often. I like variety. I do like this current one a lot, though. Thanks for stopping by. I haven't been as active on my blogs as I like to be, but hey... life is more than just writing on blogs. There's also game playing, website design, forums/boards, reading other blogs, etc. The Internet... it's like being a kid in a candy store. So much to do, so little time.

And you failed to mention your all time favorite.All the free, malware infected, adult entertainment you can want.Whether that is none or constant overdose.

Tweak it 'til it breaks, then learn how to fix it.

That's a nice website.It wants me to install a plugin called Adobe Shockwave Player, manually.What's wrong with my plain old Shockwave Flash plugin? Not good enough for ya Adobe? Now you want to change the name?Adobe, you suck! I can't wait 'til HTML 5 technologies make you obsolete.
